Trump returns to United Nations as wars in Gaza, Ukraine intensify

UNITED NATIONS. World leaders will gather in New York next week for the 80th U.N. General Assembly, where discussions are expected to be dominated by U.S. President Donald Trump’s return to the rostrum, the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, growing recognition of Palestinian statehood, and nuclear tensions with Iran.

“We are gathering in turbulent – even uncharted – waters,” U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told reporters on Tuesday, warning of “geopolitical divides widening, conflicts raging, impunity escalating, our planet overheating, and international cooperation straining under pressures unseen in our lifetimes.” Nearly 150 heads of state or government, along with dozens of ministers, are scheduled to address the six-day session.

Trump, who will speak on Tuesday, returns to the U.N. eight months into his second term, marked by sharp foreign aid cuts that have triggered humanitarian crises worldwide and raised questions about the organization’s future. He has slashed U.S. funding for the U.N., pulled out of several U.N. agencies, including UNESCO, and announced plans to quit the Paris climate agreement and the World Health Organization.

“He enjoys the General Assembly. He enjoys the attention of other leaders,” said Richard Gowan, U.N. director at the International Crisis Group. “My suspicion is he is going to be using his appearance to boast about his many achievements and perhaps once again, make the case he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.”

Trump has maintained a wary stance toward multilateralism, describing the U.N. as having “great potential” but insisting it “has to get its act together.” Guterres acknowledged that while the U.N. plays a central role in peace mediation, it lacks enforcement power. “The U.N. has very strong efforts in peace mediation … but we have no carrots and no sticks,” he said.

Guterres and Trump are expected to meet formally next week for the first time since Trump returned to office in January, one of more than 150 bilateral meetings the U.N. chief has scheduled. Guterres described the upcoming week as “the World Cup of diplomacy.”

The gathering comes as the war between Israel and Hamas nears its second year. A global hunger monitor has warned that famine has already taken hold in Gaza and could worsen by the end of the month. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes charges that Israel denies, will address the assembly on Friday. “We will remind the world once again that this war will not end with the hostages left behind in Gaza,” said Israel’s U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon.

Before the speeches begin, France and Saudi Arabia will host a summit on Monday aimed at building momentum for a two-state solution. Several Western nations, including Australia, Belgium, Britain, Canada, and France, have pledged to recognize a Palestinian state, though some with conditions. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is expected to join via video after being denied a U.S. visa, a decision that drew criticism at the U.N. “Palestine is going to be the huge elephant in this session of the General Assembly,” said Palestinian envoy Riyad Mansour.

The war in Ukraine will also be high on the agenda. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov are set to speak, though Russian President Vladimir Putin is not expected to attend. Diplomats said the U.N. Security Council is likely to convene meetings on both Gaza and Ukraine during the high-level session.

Meanwhile, last-minute negotiations are expected in New York over Iran’s nuclear program as Tehran seeks to avoid the reimposition of full U.N. sanctions on September 28. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi are both expected to attend.

Romualdez nagbitiw, Dy nahalal na kapalit

MAYNILA. Nagbitiw sa puwesto si House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez noong Martes, Setyembre 17, sa gitna ng mga alegasyon ng katiwalian sa flood control projects at budget insertions sa ilalim ng kanyang liderato.

Si Romualdez, isang abogado mula sa University of the Philippines at pinsan ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr., ay humarap sa plenaryo bandang 3:20 ng hapon para sa kanyang pamamaalam. “Leadership also demands that we confront the trials of the present. … The longer I stay, the heavier that burden grows — on me, on this House, and on the President I have always sought to support,” aniya.

Binigyang-diin niya na ang kanyang pagbibitiw ay hindi tanda ng pagsuko. “I step down not in surrender, but in service — for sometimes, the greatest act of leadership is the grace to let go, so that this institution may endure stronger than before,” pahayag niya. Dagdag pa ni Romualdez: “Masakit man sa akin, I am stepping aside so that the independent investigation may proceed freely — without pressure, without influence, and without fear. This is not surrender, but conscience.”

Ayon kay Romualdez, ang kanyang desisyon ay para maibalik ang tiwala ng publiko at matiyak ang “full accountability” at transparency sa gitna ng kontrobersya. “Mga minamahal kong kababayan, I leave this Chamber as I first entered it — a humble servant, ready to serve wherever duty may call,” aniya.

Nahalal bilang bagong Speaker si Isabela 6th District Rep. Faustino “Bojie” Dy III matapos makakuha ng 253 boto pabor, 28 abstain, at apat na hindi bumoto. Agad din siyang nanumpa sa plenaryo.

Samantala, malugod na tinanggap ni Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III ang pagkakahalal kay Dy at tinawag itong isang “very good choice.” Umaasa siyang magkakaroon ng “excellent” na ugnayan ang Senado at Kamara, lalo na sa pagpasa ng 2026 national budget. “I’m sure he’s capable and it’ll be good for the House,” ani Sotto. Tiniyak din niya na magiging mas “clean” ang budget deliberations sa pamamagitan ng full live streaming sa mga pagdinig at bicameral sessions.

Pinuri rin ni dating Senate President Francis “Chiz” Escudero si Dy ngunit nagbabala laban sa “selective amnesia” ng Kongreso kaugnay ng mga nakaraang anomalya sa pondo. Ayon naman kay Senadora Imee Marcos, “sobrang bait” ni Dy at maaaring maging mahirap ang kanyang sitwasyon bilang Speaker: “Arguably the worst job in the world.”

Nagpatutsada rin si Senador Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa kung ang pagbibitiw ni Romualdez ay “sign of guilt” kaugnay ng mga alegasyon. Una nang binanggit ng mag-asawang kontratista na sina Curlee at Sarah Discaya ang pangalan ni Romualdez sa usapin ng komisyon, bagama’t nilinaw nilang wala silang direktang transaksyon sa kanya. Mariin itong itinanggi ni Romualdez at iginiit na tungkulin ng liderato na “confront the trials of the present” at ibalik ang tiwala ng publiko.

Si Romualdez, na nahalal bilang ika-24 na Speaker ng Kamara noong 2022, ay nanungkulan hanggang sa kanyang pagbibitiw ngayong Setyembre 17.

Israel opens new Gaza exit as death toll exceeds 65,000

Israel opens new Gaza exit as death toll exceeds 65,000

CAIRO/JERUSALEM. Israel announced on Wednesday that it had opened an additional route for 48 hours to allow civilians to leave Gaza City, as its military intensified efforts to clear the area of non-combatants and confront entrenched Hamas fighters.

Hundreds of thousands remain in Gaza City, with many reluctant to evacuate due to the dangers of traveling south, scarce food supplies, harsh conditions, and fears of permanent displacement. “Even if we want to leave Gaza City, is there any guarantee we would be able to come back? Will the war ever end? That’s why I prefer to die here, in Sabra, my neighbourhood,” said Ahmed, a schoolteacher.

According to Gaza health authorities, at least 63 people were killed by Israeli strikes and gunfire across the territory on Wednesday, most of them in Gaza City. They said the latest fatalities brought the death toll from the two-year war past 65,000, with many more likely buried under rubble. Among the dead were 13 civilians, including local journalist Mohammad Alaa Al-Sawalhi, who medics said were attempting to comply with Israel’s evacuation orders.

In Rafah, five people were killed and dozens were injured when Israeli troops fired near an aid site. The Israeli military said its forces had fired warning shots to address an “immediate threat.”

The conflict began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas-led gunmen killed about 1,200 people and took 251 hostages in southern Israel, according to Israeli figures. Israel estimates that around 400,000 people 40% of Gaza City’s population as of August 10, when it announced plans to seize control, have already fled. Gaza’s media office, however, claims that 190,000 have moved south and 350,000 have shifted to the central and western parts of the city.

A day after Israel launched its ground offensive, tanks advanced short distances toward Gaza City’s central and western districts from three directions, but no major breakthrough was reported. An Israeli official said the focus remained on persuading civilians to leave and warned that fighting would intensify over the coming months. The official added that the operation could be suspended if a ceasefire were reached. However, prospects remain dim after Israel targeted Hamas political leaders in Doha last week, straining relations with Qatar, a mediator in talks.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to strike Hamas leaders anywhere, despite widespread criticism of the Doha attack, including from the United States.

On Wednesday, Gaza’s Ministry of Health reported that an Israeli drone dropped grenades on one floor of the Rantissi children’s hospital, forcing families to evacuate. No casualties were reported, but Fikr Shalltoot, Gaza director of the UK-based charity Medical Aid for Palestinians, said: “This hospital is the only specialist facility for children with cancer, kidney failure and other life-threatening conditions – but even these gravely ill children are not spared from relentless bombardment.” Israel did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Leaflets dropped over Gaza City instructed civilians to use Salahudin Road, reopened for evacuation, and warned they had until Friday noon to leave. However, conditions remained perilous, with families fleeing on foot, donkey carts, or vehicles amid ongoing strikes.

Much of Gaza City was devastated in 2023, but around one million Palestinians later returned to live among the ruins. Forcing residents out now risks confining much of the enclave’s population to overcrowded shelters in the south, where a hunger crisis is worsening.

The United Nations, aid agencies, and foreign governments have condemned Israel’s campaign and the mass displacement. A U.N. Commission of Inquiry said Tuesday that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza, a conclusion Israel rejected as “scandalous” and “fake.”

Israeli forces currently control Gaza City’s eastern suburbs and are pressing from multiple fronts toward the center and western districts. “Gaza is being wiped out. A city that is thousands of years old is being wiped out in front of the whole cowardly world,” said Ahmed, the teacher.

In Nuseirat refugee camp, an Israeli airstrike destroyed a high-rise building on Wednesday, forcing nearby residents to flee. Palestinian and U.N. officials said no area of Gaza is safe, including the southern zones Israel has designated as humanitarian. On Tuesday, an airstrike killed five people in a vehicle as they attempted to evacuate south.

Chinese and Philippine vessels collide near Scarborough Shoal

Chinese and Philippine vessels collide near Scarborough Shoal

BEIJING. A confrontation between Chinese and Philippine vessels near the disputed Scarborough Shoal on Tuesday has heightened tensions in the South China Sea, with both sides accusing each other of dangerous maneuvers.

China’s coast guard alleged that a Philippine ship deliberately rammed one of its vessels after more than 10 Philippine government ships entered waters around the shoal, which China calls Huangyan Island. It said water cannons were deployed against the intruding ships.

The Philippines rejected the claim, saying Chinese forces used powerful water cannons that caused significant damage to the BRP Datu Gumbay Piang and left one crew member injured.

According to the Philippine Coast Guard, two Chinese coast guard ships fired water cannons at the Filipino fisheries vessel for nearly 30 minutes, shattering glass in the captain’s cabin and the bridge, injuring a crewman, and causing a short circuit that affected electrical outlets and several outdoor air-conditioning units. A Chinese navy warship also broadcast a radio notice about “live-fire exercises” at the shoal, which the Philippine Coast Guard said caused panic among Filipino fishermen.

Philippine vessels had been deployed to provide fuel, water, ice, and other supplies to more than 35 fishing boats in the area.

The incident occurred six days after China announced the designation of part of Scarborough Shoal as a national nature reserve. The Philippine government, which refers to the shoal as Bajo de Masinloc, filed a diplomatic protest over the move.

Scarborough Shoal, a traditional fishing ground, has long been a flashpoint in the South China Sea, a strategic waterway claimed almost entirely by China but also contested by the Philippines and several other countries.

The clash has drawn international reactions. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called China’s actions “yet another coercive move to advance sweeping territorial and maritime claims in the South China Sea at the expense of its neighbors.” The United Kingdom and Australia also expressed concern, while the Canadian Embassy in Manila said it opposed attempts to use environmental protection as a pretext to assert control over the shoal.

Pagpapalit ng liderato sa Kamara umaalingawngaw

MAYNILA. Umugong ang usapin ng posibleng pagpapalit ng liderato sa Mababang Kapulungan kasabay ng pagbubukas ng sesyon ngayong Setyembre 17 o sa mga susunod na araw.

“Baka, it’s possible,” ayon kay Navotas City Rep. Toby Tiangco nang tanungin ng media tungkol sa posibilidad ng pagbabago sa liderato.

Ayon sa ilang insiders, ito umano ang dahilan kaya ipinatawag ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. si Speaker Martin Romualdez sa Malacañang, na sinamahan ni House Majority Leader at Presidential Son Sandro Marcos.

Batay sa mga sources, kabilang sa mga opsyon na tatalakayin kung mananatili si Romualdez sa puwesto, pansamantalang magli-leave at magtalaga ng Acting Speaker, o tuluyang magbitiw sa tungkulin.

Nauugnay ang isyu sa nabunyag na umano’y malawakang katiwalian sa Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), partikular sa mga ghost flood control projects, na sinasabing umabot na sa trilyong piso sa loob ng ilang taon.

Napansin din ang maagang pagsususpinde ng mga sesyon sa Kamara nitong mga nagdaang araw, na nagpatindi pa sa espekulasyon ng pagbabago sa liderato.

Ilan sa mga lumulutang na pangalan bilang kapalit ni Romualdez ay sina Isabela Rep. Faustino Dy ng Federal ng Pilipinas, House Deputy Speaker Ronnie Puno, Bataan Rep. Albert Garcia, at Rep. Jay-Jay Suarez ng Lakas-CMD.

Samantala, iminungkahi ni Tiangco ang pangalan ni Negros Occidental Rep. Albee Benitez bilang isa pang posibleng kandidato para sa Speakership.

Romualdez, Co kasama sa flood control probe; bank accounts ng contractors pina-freeze

MAYNILA. Tiniyak ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. na hindi maliligtas sina House Speaker Martin Romualdez at dating House appropriations committee chair Rep. Zaldy Co (Ako Bicol party-list) sa imbestigasyon kaugnay ng umano’y maanomalyang flood control projects.

“Well there’s no other way to do it: They will not be spared,” pahayag ng Pangulo sa isang press briefing sa Malacañang noong Setyembre 15.

Ayon kay Marcos, malinaw ang direktiba niya na walang exempted sa gagawing pagsisiyasat ng Independent Commission for Infrastructure hinggil sa mga alegasyon ng anomalya at budget insertions sa flood control projects noong nakaraang taon. Si Romualdez, pinsan ng pangulo at kasalukuyang pinuno ng Kamara, at si Co, dating chairman ng House appropriations committee, ay kapwa iniuugnay sa mga kontrobersyal na pondo para sa mga nasabing proyekto.

Kasabay nito, inanunsiyo ng Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) na ipinag-utos ng Court of Appeals (CA) ang pag-freeze sa assets ng ilang indibidwal at korporasyon na sangkot umano sa mga anomalya.

Sa isang pulong balitaan sa Maynila, sinabi ni AMLC Executive Director Atty. Matthew David na sakop ng freeze order ang 135 bank accounts at 27 insurance policies ng mga naturang indibidwal at korporasyon. Inaprubahan ito ng CA noong Setyembre 12, kasunod ng kahilingan ng Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

Hindi tinukoy ni David ang halaga ng mga bank accounts, ngunit binigyan ang mga bangko ng 24 oras upang magsumite ng ulat. Tumanggi rin siyang magbigay ng dagdag na detalye dahil sa confidentiality clause ng freeze order.

Matatandaang hiniling ng DPWH sa AMLC na isyuhan ng freeze order ang 26 indibidwal na sinampahan ng kasong graft sa Office of the Ombudsman. Kabilang dito sina dating DPWH OIC-Assistant Regional Director Henry Alcantara, dating OIC-District Engineer Brice Ericson Hernandez, dating OIC-Assistant District Engineer Jaypee Mendoza, Construction Section chief John Michael Ramos, at Ernesto Galang ng Planning and Design Section.

Kasama rin sa kinasuhan ang ilang contractors tulad nina Ma. Roma Angeline Rimando, Cezarah “Sarah” Rowena Discaya at Pacifico “Curlee” Discaya II ng St. Timothy Construction Corp.; Mark Allan Arevalo ng Wawao Builders; Sally Santos ng SYMS Construction Trading; at Robert Imperio ng IM Construction Corp.

Israel declares Gaza is burning as major ground assault begins

Israel declares Gaza is burning as major ground assault begins

JERUSALEM/CAIRO. Israel on Tuesday launched a large-scale ground assault on Gaza City, declaring “Gaza is burning” as Palestinians described the most intense bombardment since the start of the war two years ago.

An Israel Defense Forces (IDF) official confirmed that troops were advancing deeper into the enclave’s main city and that reinforcements would arrive in the coming days to confront an estimated 3,000 Hamas combatants still present.

“Gaza is burning,” Defense Minister Israel Katz posted on X. “The IDF strikes with an iron fist at the terrorist infrastructure and IDF soldiers are fighting bravely to create the conditions for the release of the hostages and the defeat of Hamas.”

The move came despite warnings from European leaders threatening sanctions and concerns voiced by some Israeli commanders that the operation could prove costly. Washington, however, signaled its support through Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who stood alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier in the day.

In a report that heightened international alarm, a United Nations Commission of Inquiry accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, allegedly incited by senior officials including Netanyahu. Israel dismissed the findings as “scandalous” and “fake.”

Gaza’s health ministry said at least 40 people were killed in the first hours of the assault, mostly in Gaza City. Airstrikes destroyed residential towers overnight, leaving residents digging through rubble to retrieve bodies.

Abu Mohammed Hamed, whose relatives were trapped beneath collapsed buildings, told Reuters: “We don’t know how to take her out. We have been working on it since 3 a.m.”

Thousands of Palestinians streamed southward, many on foot, as Israel renewed its calls for civilians to evacuate. “They are destroying residential towers, the pillars of the city, mosques, schools, and roads,” said 70-year-old Abu Tamer, fleeing with his family. “They are wiping out our memories.”

The escalation drew sharp criticism from European allies. EU officials in Brussels said they would move to impose sanctions on Israel, including suspending trade provisions. British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper called the assault “reckless and appalling” and urged an immediate ceasefire. Britain and France are expected to recognize Palestinian independence later this month.

Witnesses in Tel Al-Hawa reported heavy bombardment from air, ground, and sea, with Israeli forces deploying explosive-laden robots. Some residents, unable to flee, said they had no choice but to stay. “It is like escaping from death towards death, so we are not leaving,” said Um Mohammad, a resident of Sabra.

Hamas and the IDF estimate that around 350,000 people have already fled Gaza City, with nearly twice as many remaining. Aid groups and the United Nations have denounced Israel’s tactics as mass forced displacement under conditions lacking food, medical care, and basic hygiene. Gaza’s health ministry said three more people died of starvation in the past 24 hours, bringing hunger-related deaths to at least 428. Israel maintains that reports of famine are exaggerated.

Inside Israel, some commanders have warned that the assault could jeopardize hostages still held by Hamas or create a “death trap” for soldiers. At a security meeting on Sunday, Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir urged Netanyahu to consider a ceasefire, according to officials briefed on the discussion.

Families of hostages gathered outside Netanyahu’s home in Jerusalem late Monday as the offensive intensified. “Our loved ones in Gaza are being bombarded by the IDF under the orders of the prime minister,” said Anat Angrest, whose son Matan is among the 20 hostages believed to be alive.

Information from Reuters was used in this report.

Bagong silang na sanggol dinukot ng nagpanggap na ‘nurse’ sa ospital

MAYNILA. Isang bagong silang na sanggol ang dinukot ng isang babaeng nagpanggap na nurse sa Lingayen District Hospital sa Pangasinan kamakalawa, ayon sa ulat ng pulisya.

Kinilala ang biktima na si Prince Harry Carpio, ipinanganak noong Setyembre 10, anak nina Romeo at Rocel Carpio ng Binmaley, Pangasinan. Nanawagan ang mag-asawa sa hindi pa nakikilalang suspek na ibalik ang kanilang anak.

Sa inisyal na imbestigasyon ng Lingayen Municipal Police Station, iniwan ni Romeo ang kaniyang mag-ina sa Ob-Gyne ward ng ospital upang magbayad ng hospital bills. Habang wala siya, isang babae na nakasuot ng berdeng uniporme at nagpanggap na nurse ang lumapit kay Rocel at sinabing kukunin muna ang sanggol para sa umano’y blood test.

Makalipas ang ilang oras at hindi pa naibabalik ang bata, nagtanong ang mga magulang sa nurse station. Dito nila nalaman na walang isinasagawang blood test at hindi kinuha ng mga staff ng ospital ang kanilang anak.

Agad na nagreport sa pulisya ang mag-asawa. Sa kasalukuyan, nagsasagawa ng masusing imbestigasyon ang mga awtoridad at nire-review ang mga kuha sa CCTV sa loob at labas ng ospital upang matunton ang salarin.
